Last
year,
veteran
actor-director
Kamal
Haasan
suffered
a
big
setback
when
Vishwaroopam
2
opened
on
an
ordinary
note
and
failed
to
impress
critics.
The
film,
directed
by
'Nammavar'
himself,
never
really
clicked
with
the
mass
audience
and
this
proved
to
be
its
downfall.
In
fact,
the
response
was
so
poor
that
those
associated
with
the
movie
suffered
big
losses.
With
the
debacle
behind
him,
Kamal
is
currently
busy
with
his
political
commitments.
Recently,
while
campaigning,
the
Hey
Ram
actor
said
that
Nathuram
Godse
was
India's
first
terrorist
and
added
that
he
was
a
Hindu.
"I
am
not
saying
this
because
this
is
a
Muslim-dominated
area,
but
I
am
saying
this
before
a
statue
of
Gandhi.
Free
India's
first
terrorist
was
a
Hindu,
his
name
is
Nathuram
Godse.
There
it
[terrorism,
apparently]
starts," he
added.
As
expected,
his
remark
ruffled
a
few
feathers
with
several
political
leaders
rebuking
him
for
his
'strongly
condemnable'
actions.
Kamal's
good
friend
and
Kollywood
legend
was
recently
asked
for
his
views
on
the
controversy.
However,
in
a
surprising
development,
the
'Superstar'
refused
to
be
drawn
into
the
issue
and
made
it
clear
that
he
would
not
be
commenting
on
the
controversy.
On
the
work
front,
Kamal
currently
has
Indian
2
in
his
kitty
which
is
on
hold
for
now.
He
might
also
begin
work
on
Thevar
Magan
2
in
the
days
to
come.
On
the
other
hand,
Rajinikanth
is
currently
working
on
Darbar
which
is
slated
to
hit
screens
next
year.
